OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Aw, what a cutie pie! Congratulations Vicky! First of many promotion/graduation ceremonies to come!
Thanks for the welcome back. The FISH 103.9 does plan to have another Family Festival next year. Gibson Ranch was perfect location for it and it was worth the $10.00 parking fee and free admission. 7 Christian contemporary/rock acts, lots of different foods, bounce house slides for kids, face painting, etc. A lot of fun. Really looking forward to the Celebrate America in Rocklin at the end of month.
NS-you may need extra vacation time to recoup from your west coast tour! Sounds like a lot of fun, safe travels home!
To all the dads out there....have a very happy fathers day week! Blessings to all!

Thanks Vicky. We don't talk about religion when we visit. We wanted to be careful with our visiting time, because it is a very stressfilled week with graduation, etc. So, we figured we would minimize the stress as much as possible. Praying that works.
Pay - all I have here is Ben Franklin - I can look if you want me to - just let me know.
Happy Father's Day to the awesome Dads' who have helped our sailor's be who they are for our country.

Christine I wish I had know about the thing at Gibson Ranch, I live not far from there. I found out about it after it was over. Thanks for the info on Celebrate America, it sounds awesome. Welcome back BTW.
NS sounds like a wild, wonderful whirlwind trip!
Pay any ideas I might have for that I'm sure you've already thought of...Hobby Lobby would be my best guess.
